Re: Spool Bearings DC Reels

A good flushing with light oil would probably make the difference as new bearings. With that said I've changed some of mine to the Hedgehog AirHD How much more over the stock bearings have you found them to be inside the platform that you are using?

If it didn't whine then how would you let everyone know you're rocking the DC?
